Jones is slated to enter Canada from Detroit at a Windsor, Ont., border crossing and then drive to Queen's Park for a rally. He will stay in Toronto for the night and return home Friday.

CBSA frontline officers said Jones can be refused entry to Canada if he has prior criminal convictions, including breach of hate laws. They can also consider his ban from other countries.

Toronto Police have warned Jones about Canadian hate laws and will be monitoring his speech and visit.

Border agents said the pastor will be sent for a secondary examination to inspect for weapons or other contraband. They are also searching for copies of the controversial film, Innocence of Muslims, that portrays the Prophet Muhammad in a negative light.
